Local News & Weather: Haystack for Positive User Reviews
✓ Needs more and easier access to live weather info.Love it but need to be able to access weather more frequently. I really like the personalized content and I significantly prefer this news to anything else out there (3 major channels, fix, cnn, etc) but it can get redundant. Overall love the service but frustrated with the lack of easy access to weather - you can watch the live feed once but can’t go back to it easily..Version: 3.24
✓ Good coverage could use a few features though.I’ve been using Haystack for quite a while now. I don’t have any complaints, mainly all compliments at this point. There could be a “update” or “refresh” feature, and also a way to access all current hashtags # in addition to adding your own? Those would be useful. Thanks for a good app!.Version: 3.40
✓ Overall a Great app, but freezes up at timesThis app is excellent for getting the latest world and local news in a short time with few commercials. However, just as all the other reviews state, it freezes up at times, and can be unresponsive on your device. Freezes much more than other streaming apps. The freeze doesn’t bother me, but other people maybe irritated..Version: 3.24
✓ Excellent productGreat product. A must have for news events.Version: 2.71
✓ Excellent appMy favorite is Joe Hansell who does the weather updates. He’s such a chipper guy. Makes even bad weather sound doable. And the AP news minute is very good too. You can get the major updates you need in short order if time is limited. Choose the other subjects you want updated....what’s not to like?.Version: 3.39
✓ The easiest way to watch the news.Customize, Skip, repeat are all features that make using this app enjoyable. You can use a tactically to find stories you’re looking for, or use it as background noise with fresh content added our by hour. Local, regional, national, global news all within reach. If you like video content, this is it..Version: 3.38
✓ Not working on my smart tvI’ve had haystack for many years and now all of a sudden it won’t work on the smart TV. It works fine on Roku. Is this just the way that smart TVs only have paid programming. Smart TVs don’t have the CW app either. Another free broadcasting. What’s up. Just saying I’m very disappointed and if something is done I will only use Roku TV’s. Until it’s fixed you won’t get a higher rating..Version: 3.40
✓ Great news app.I'm surprised to be the first to review this app. Great news app. Especially like using it with my chromecast to stream to tv..Version: 2.75
✓ Firoz786This app is one of the best in it's class try it. Thanks for such a high class app..Version: 1.51
✓ Great App need more Local ContentLove the app but need more local Canadian Content.Version: 3.39
✓ AmazingThis app is amazing. I have it on most of the day. It starts playing as soon as u open it. Never any lag. Any news your not interested in, you just swipe it away and the next one plays. It is the best news video app and it's completely customizable to your interests. I love it..Version: 3.2
✓ Love itExcellent support. Had a problem when I downloaded, and was resolved within hours. I like having the news that I want easily accessible. Hope they add to the sources available, but pretty good so far..Version: 3.0
✓ Latest updateGreat on content and selection. Not sure after recent updates if it keeps preferences as before. I seem to either be getting more items of less interest. Recent updates seem to make it hang up when opening, or with sound only..Version: 3.41
✓ AmazingLove this app.Version: 3.03
✓ My favorite appExtremely under rated app!! I watch every day to get news in the topics I care about, instead of talking heads giving their opinion..Version: 3.41
✓ Awesome appJust works ... great app be good to see an international version one day.Version: 2.75
✓ Great App!Def one of my fav apps. Beats the tabloid news crap you're usually force fed..Version: 2.12
✓ Excellent appWhy didn't someone think of it before.Version: 3.2
✓ Please make a desktop app.I love this app. I use it everyday on AppleTV but wish there was a desktop version so I don’t have to burn my phone battery..Version: 3.25
✓ Good JobBest media delivery service.Version: 3.1
✓ Makes it easy to consume the News that interests you. However, the data is very US centric.Makes it easy to consume the News that interests you. However, the data is very US centric..Version: 3.30
✓ WowAwesome app!!!.Version: 2.50
✓ News packaged and brought to your door stepBrilliant format and presentation of news and entertainment bundled nicely. I do not have to go anywhere else. Time saver to keep up with what is happening around you! Rama A..Version: 3.29
✓ Good appI enjoy using this app as it saves time when you want to go through news stories quickly to find what interests you..Version: 3.03
✓ News not OpinionWhat I like about this app is its “unlimited” scope of news from many many sources. I feel like I’m watching the news like I did many years ago. Watching CNN, MSNBC, CBS, Fox, etc. is like watching the bashing of Trump or glorying Trump non stop. I want news, not political football. Thanks guys..Version: 3.24
✓ Great appGreat app tbh never had any issues. Sometimes when I first used it it would hang in a video and play the sound behind it but simple you close it and open it again and it works fine seriously no big deal. After updates can’t remember the last time that happened. Great place to see top news and it continues without you needing to touch anything. I hope the app doesn’t change to subscription or anything like popular apps like to do I hope it stays the same cause I love this app. Only thing I would recommend see if you can add more news stations not saying the ones that it shows are bad but more never hurts.Version: 3.25
✓ Haystack tvLike the ability to tailor stories to my interests!.Version: 3.2
✓ Suits my needs!I really like this app, as it provides me with news on an easy-to navigate page. Unlike most other news pages, the screen isn’t constantly crammed with ads, therefore I like it even more. Although, more options on the side would be nice (the ones that you can add a star to.) Thanks!.Version: 3.36
✓ Great appThis app is great. I highly recommended..Version: 2.10
✓ Haystack TV NewsGreat App. Good news variety. They are responsive to feedback, they are growing, developing, everyday. Have had it for over a year. If it is malfunctioning, let them know in their " feedback" drop down. So for the ipad " expert" review...learn to use the app, and you probably need a new ipad, or you have another tech problem. I run the App on a 3rd generation ipad, no problem..Version: 3.2
✓ GoodWorks well and is current..Version: 2.20
✓ Excellent!A very aesthetic, well designed and slick app.News sources good but needs more international content. At present feeds emanate mainly from the US, although there are opportunities to obtain a wider range elsewhere. The picture resolution is outstanding with no buffering. A terrific effort to give people the opportunity to find exactly what they want,rather than sitting through loads of bland content. Overall, well worth the download..Version: 3.2
✓ Just found this app and love itWish I had known about it sooner .. shows local news and also gives me opportunity to choose other news I am I interested in .. Recommend ...Version: 3.30
✓ Fast respondIt kicks on faster then peacock and paramount Hope to see more coverage of local news I recommend it.Version: 3.61
✓ Love it!I love how I can literally watch so many different news sources in one easy place. No more jumping from app to app. Plus, it’s easy to use and I always find something interesting I didn’t know I was looking for. Great job Haystack!.Version: 3.30
✓ Downloaded today 6-18-@9Just downloaded and was exploring the app. It is wonderful. Really like how it operates. Very informative videos of news and everything I am interested in.I look forward to exploring the site more. Heidi.Version: 3.25
✓ One of my favourite news apps!!Haystack has become one of my favourite news apps! I love the fact that I can tune it to the topics that I like…both newsy and fun stuff. Also love that I can rewind, pause, and skip a video whenever I want. One of the best apps on my phone!.Version: 3.03
✓ Works greatI like the quick web shots of the topics I like right there in my Notification Center..Version: 2.00
✓ News never the same!HAYSTACK NEWS has changed the way we view news forever! FREE news from your local channels as well as 200+ other sources. Even free live news channels as well!.Version: 3.46
✓ Great App!!!!This is the best way to watch the news you want to see..Version: 3.02
✓ Very good appI like it..Version: 2.51
✓ Got it rightNo TV needed!! Great stuff for your fault news feed .. I just wish the app was a a little less busy.Version: 3.02
✓ Making the headlinesProvides an easy to use round up of news topics which are easy to subscribe to. Updated twice a day and works seamlessly. An excellent and very useful resource..Version: 1.50
✓ Great tv appExcellent app.Version: 2.50
✓ Love this appHeadlines in one stop.Version: 3.36
✓ Great App Needs (*mini) Fix!Haystack is one of my fav news+ apps—BUT the last update CRASHES on opening. It used to work fine and deserved ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Fix please—or will delete soon—from my iPad minis. *Haystack still works well on my iPhones.* 😃.Version: 3.24
✓ Nice selection of News SourcesI would like to see some English language sources from South America, Australia & New Zealand and Asia..Version: 3.2
✓ Love it!Great app. I like seeing different reports from different sources. It's a 10!.Version: 2.50
✓ JsExcellent.Version: 3.25
✓ Smooth app!It works smoothly!.Version: 3.2
✓ Great app with room to improve.I use the AppleTV4 version. For the most part, a great way to view the news you want to. Couple of suggestions - selecting a story from the AppleTV home page banner should go directly to that story rather continue to play whatever was already playing. - the app no longer updates the AppleTV home page banner when the app is ‘hovered’ over; I’m seeing stories for 2+ weeks ago. Some fine tuning of the UI would go a long way to making the app ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!.Version: 3.22
✓ Love itI just love this app. I happened to find it by mistake, was looking for something and came across it. I thought I’d check it out and am glad I did. It’s practically the only thing I watch. Thank you Haystack.Version: 3.30
✓ The best news app on the marketI’ve been using Haystack as my main source of information for years now, so I was fortunate to see it evolving into the best news application available. Great variety of sources and very smooth experience across all platforms. Love the new design, keep up the great work!.Version: 3.35
✓ Excellent news appI haven’t had a TV for years, but do miss the news programs. Have tried many apps for written news, but even they do not do as good of a job at giving you the topics & providers of your choice as Haystack TV! Get to see several news videos, then there’s a quick commercial, then back to the news. Beats broadcast TV to bits!! Thanks for a really good app that I’m greatly enjoying!.Version: 3.24
✓ Love this apI get the news i want without having to suffer the other rubbish. Whats not to like. And it works without problem..Version: 2.60
✓ Great app… but doesnt work on iPad OS 15… keeps crashingI use Haystack premium on all my Apple devices (Apple TV, iPad Pro & iPhone)… works amazing except since I updated my iPad Pro to iOS 15 Haystack keeps crashing. PLS FIX IT..Version: 3.43
✓ All encompassingEven though they no longer continue late night clips probably for legal reasons, haystack has proven to be a quick search for all of your available news that you’re looking for without having to wait or switch between apps. I hope they return the late night clips!.Version: 3.42
✓ Mostly great!The app has been stellar - until now. I have a really big issue with possession theme movies, and right now the movie trailers for“The Possession of Hannah Grace” literally play every 5 mins or less, even during video playback (i have to pause the video and let the audio for the trailer play out). It’s so traumatic. Why do you play the same ads every single time ads have to play? Isn’t it possible to diversify? Maybe not two separate trailers for the same horror movie back to back every 5 mins please?!?!?!.Version: 3.24
✓ Excellent!This app is excellent! Videos will be on automatically. No need for me to choice one after another. Thanks for the awesome product you have provided!.Version: 1.11
✓ News news and more newsI got rid of cable months ago and the only thing i’ve missed is having a news channel on in the background as i did things at home. well, they fixed that and it’s news i can tailer to my interests. love it. thanks Haystack!.Version: 3.2
✓ Precise News.Fast precise news. lots of body! lots of Roma! Extremely palatable to the point..Version: 2.20
✓ Mostly balanced with a light lean left.For those reading that this is a biased group... at BEST it’s a mild bias. I love that they don’t play Fox News sources. I do wish they would remove MSNBC as well, as they are the opposite side of the same coin. That would be fair... But I did that myself on the app!!! I still get local Fox, just not the Uber propaganda of Fox News Channel. Which is perfect. The rest of the sources are as close to neutral as they get. I get news from LA where I live, and I got it to also play local Kansas City news where my kids live! Seriously, play with the app and use it for a week or two. You’ll get it to work for you!.Version: 3.41
✓ Great app!Best app out there to watch the news that I want. Thanks..Version: 3.2
✓ My go-to for daily news.Excellent news app with customizable features. I watch it daily to stay up to date on local, national, and international news. Highly recommend it!!!.Version: 3.35
✓ Excellent appGreat app...keep me up to date on world and business news at a shortest amount of time. Good for people that don't have cable..Version: 0.43
✓ Works for meAnd I also got to see some channels here on Haystack News, such as Newsmax, and newsy, and so many other channels but I didn’t but there’s one channel that I didn’t find on haystack TV, and that is Wood TV8, I would also love to see 13 on your side added to haystack TV, When I first downloaded haystack TV on my iPad, I got to select the stories that are my interests, such as video game news entertainment news, so I have no bugs no problems with the app whatsoever, and I also especially have it installed on my Roku, it also works fine on my Roku, I would love to see more channels at so I love haystack TV, and I would love to see more news channels added to haystack TV such as Mac rumors and so many others, love haystack TV,.Version: 3.45
✓ Excellent Aggregate TV ServiceNo ads to interrupt the stream. Very good..Version: 2.50
✓ News reports!!!!Updated news is a positive thing, for us , that live in real small towns (Hemphill, Texas)!!! I am the type of person, that wants to know, what is happening, beyond this small town!!! I follow the news and updates, as much as possible…. on the television and my cellphone!!! Originally, I am from Cheyenne, Wyoming !!! And have lived in Texas, about a year!!! Keep up the good work!!!.Version: 3.57
✓ Great appVery happy with it so far..Version: 3.2
✓ Cured my rampant channel changingSet up your viewing interests and then set down the remote. Part of what ruins regular TV or streaming for me is changing the channel & then watching a few moments to figure out if the channel I've chosen is actually what I want. This brief process breaks my concentration and derails my ability to absorb the info. Haystack does away with this with a continuous stream of relevant content. I no longer have to search and qualify. I just set it & let it go. A great viewing experience..Version: 3.2
✓ Great app!The app is great. I really enjoy casting the news to my Chromecast while I cook or something — that background "informative" noise TVs uses to be a while ago!.Version: 3.1
✓ 5 star. F*ck the crabfeast5 star. F*ck the crabfeast.Version: 2.60
✓ Great news app BUT...I use this app everyday but I believe there needs to be more independent news sources. It's tough going from CNN to Fox News all morning but other than that; I love it. I would also like to see maybe more science and tech news but great job by the developers! One last thing, can we please lose The Fumble sports cast? 1. The sports news caster is super annoying in the morning and there's hardly ANY sports involved in the clips. More of "The View" gossip type sports news.....bringing this down from 5 to 4 stars.Version: 3.2
✓ The LOCAL STUFFIt’s reassuring that I can confidently turn to this news source for updated events and local weather; especially since I am a new resident of Ohio..Version: 3.53
✓ Amazing appHighly recommended.Version: 2.60
✓ Excellent source of variety news.I have yet to have any problems with this app. I think there should be a MacOS ticker-type app that scrolls news right under the menu bar or a Windows 10 app with similar capabilities. Maybe even work with news-centric YouTubers or other locations by providing a ticker for OBS, XSplit, or other streaming apps. This way more people can talk about the news of the day and have a royalty-free add-on so that people don’t run into copyright problems..Version: 3.22
✓ AwesomeAwesome app for good quality video for news. Using chromecast to view the news I want when I want is great too..Version: 2.20
✓ Best appsVery very convenient to watch news.Version: 3.05
✓ GreatVery informative, though a little US centric. Great App though. Thumbs up for the format..Version: 3.36
✓ Love itSince discovering this app I use it daily.Version: 3.02
✓ Great way to check in across the countryPicking the topics you want to see and check in on local news across the country by picking local locations.Version: 3.46
✓ Great appFinally streaming news with no adds.Version: 2.10
✓ 4 year review.I have had Haystack on Chromecast about 4 years ago. I have to say I love the app, it has always catered to my interests and does so seamlessly. I generally use this in the morning or just while making dinner. One thing I would like to see is a more constant refreshing of news. Nowadays everyone is constantly getting bombarded with new news every day - every minute. It needs more categories that are less personalized but more like themed. A common problem with all of this choice is that if you need something quickly you have to wait to choose something and you end up stalling watching The Office for the 8th time. Make a few channels 24/7 - people will tune in..Version: 3.24
✓ Hey stackListened to the interview on Apple time to ish and fay and they sold this app to me...... Great app!👍🏽.Version: 2.50
✓ JosieVery informative excellent app.Version: 3.02
✓ Absolutely superbOnly improvement I can think of would be to add (more granular) channels / subscriptions. For example, if I wanted to just watch Bill Maher’s show on HBO; would still currently be easier via YouTube.Version: 3.22
✓ So far....Just started using this and nothing negative yet..Version: 3.2
✓ Love This AppGreat way to get a quick summary any time of the day. Don't waste that much time watching TV..Version: 3.24
✓ Love the app, however...Really need to bring back the portrait mode on the iPad. Also, there used to be a feature where the audio would play on in the background, however that’s gone too. I’ve always hated manually running through video channels, this app sincerely has changed the way I consume news daily. Hope to see some new improvements soon..Version: 3.2
✓ Just got the appAs of now this is an incredible app. I hated paying for TV when all I would watch is the new in the morning. Now I stream it for free. Saving 20 dollars a month. It is also a good supplement to Netflix which I still have. I hope this continues to be as good as it is..Version: 3.24
✓ Great appI have been using this app for awhile and I'm happy with it. It has a great variety of video contents from world events to entertainments...something for everyone. Great app, highly recommended to everyone to get this app..Version: 0.43
✓ Search function is brokenThis app is great... if you only want to play what the player will randomly play for u. But if u want to search something specific, it’s pretty broken and doesn’t function at all. You can favorite a topic, but there’s no way to watch just your topic of interest. A functionally broken randomizer of news..Version: 3.35
✓ Great News App!Gives enough variety of news networks so you can get more perspective on the same issue and catch up on all the other news of the day whether it be music, entertainment, art, sports, etc..Version: 3.2
